Mitutoyo U-WAVE-TCB 264-624 Bluetooth Transmitter

Technical Overview

IP67-rated Bluetooth wireless transmitter for digital calipers. Direct data transfer to PCs and mobile devices up to 16m. Features LED transmission feedback.

Key Features

Direct cable-free attachment to the rear of the digital caliper to preserve tool balance and operability
Uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology for direct coupling to computers and mobile devices without a separate hardware receiver
IP67 protection level ensures robust dust and liquid ingress resistance in harsh manufacturing areas with coolant exposure
Three-color LED status indicator (green, red, orange) for instant visual data transmission confirmation
Built-in 2.4 GHz frequency hopping spread spectrum (FH-SS) modulation prevents signal interference in noisy factory environments
Automates data logging with a single press to prevent human transcription errors and boost SPC throughput

Industrial Applications

1. Machine Shop SPC Quality Control

Operators checking dimensions of freshly machined metal components directly at CNC lathe and milling centers, sending measurements straight to a central SPC logging station.

Problem Solved

Machining cells are laden with coolant splash, oil mist, and dust that destroy standard electronics. Standard data cables snag or break easily. The IP67 rating allows the transmitter to withstand liquid immersion, while the Bluetooth protocol eliminates the physical cable hazard entirely.

2. Automotive Assembly Line Dimensional Audit

Quality assurance inspectors performing mobile audits of gap clearances and plastic molding tolerances along a continuous, moving vehicle assembly line.

Problem Solved

Physical tethers severely limit operator mobility and pose a safety risk near automated equipment. This transmitter provides 16 meters of wireless freedom, allowing operators to freely measure components and log data onto a handheld tablet with a single button press.

3. Aerospace Receiving Inspection of Precision Fasteners

High-volume batch inspection of incoming high-precision fasteners and structural brackets in a bustling aerospace parts warehouse.

Problem Solved

Manually transcribing 8-digit high-precision metrics is extremely slow and highly susceptible to human error. Utilizing the 264-624 enables immediate, 100% accurate database entry, ensuring no bad parts bypass quality barriers due to transcription errors.
